  • Transfers: You use this feature to make a loan payment. You can also transfer money to others, view scheduled transfers and transfer history, and set up and view your transfer accounts via this menu.

The items located in the header in UBTgo will let you perform various actions, as well.

  • UBTgo logo: Clicking the UBTgo logo in the top-left corner of the page will take you back to the main Account Summary page.

The navigation bar and menu buttons allow you to navigate to the different sections of UBTgo. They will always appear at the top of the window, and you will need to scroll up if they are not visible.

Additionally, please note that for your security, your UBTgo session will automatically end when there has been no activity for 10 minutes. This protects you in case you forget to sign out at the end of your session. You will receive a pop-up message with a time-out warning two minutes before the session is automatically ended. If you would like to continue your UBTgo session, click OK when you get this warning. Clicking OK refreshes the system for another 10-minute interval.

This page provides account details and allows you to see pending transactions, search your transaction history, and take further actions on your account as desired.

Text Banking

Text banking supports the following commands. Note: The commands are not case-sensitive. Text banking uses your mobile phone’s texting capabilities. Standard text messaging and data rates may apply. Check with your mobile service provider for fees and charges.

• bal — This command returns the balance on your primary checking or savings account.

When you create short nicknames for text banking, you can use the short nicknames with the balance command to find the balance of any account by texting bal <nickname>.

For example, if you gave the nickname chk to your checking account, you could text bal chk to get the balance information.

Texting the command bal all will return the available balance of all your accounts.

• hist — This command returns the history with the last five transactions of your primary account.

The short nicknames can be applied to the command as hist <nickname>.

For example, if you gave the nickname chk to your checking account, you could text hist chk to get the history of the last five transactions of your checking account.

• more — The more command is used with the hist command. When you request the history of an account by texting hist, it returns with the last five transactions. To get the next five transactions, simply text more. Texting more again will return the next five transactions and so on until there are no additional transactions available on your account.

• nick — This command returns a list of all your account nicknames.

• help — This command returns a list of all commands.

• stop — This command will unsubscribe the phone from text banking.
